Create a uapi header include/uapi/linux/eventfd.h, move the associated
flags to the uapi header, and include it from linux/eventfd.h.

I think the change overall makes sense but see below.

Why would you want to include that?

I would leave that comment together with EFD_SHARED_FCNTL_FLAGS and
EFD_FLAGS_SET in the kernel only header.

I think that doesn't belong into the uapi header and should be left in
the kernel header.
